Description
This is the pickup swap most P/J players end up making eventually — so here it is bundled and ready. The Seymour Duncan SPB-3 “Quarter Pound” for P Bass position uses quarter-inch pole pieces to widen the magnetic field, which translates to a fatter, more extended frequency range with serious mid-range push and high output. It’s the go-to Basslines pickup for a reason: even on a single-pickup bass it covers a wide tonal spread, from rock grind to something more nuanced. Comes with black logo covers, a wiring diagram, and mounting screws.
Paired with it is the SJB-3B, a true single-coil built for players who want the output of the Hot Jazz pickup but with sharper front-end attack. Same quarter-inch pole piece approach, heavier winding, full low end, and sustain that holds up under aggressive playing. Suits blues, garage, classic rock, and heavier styles like metal and nu-metal equally well. Logo cover included.
Want more control over the blend? Seymour Duncan’s STC-2 or STC-3 Tone Circuits are commonly paired with this set for shaping the output further — worth considering if you’re already elbow-deep in your bass’s electronics.
To get the most out of the new pickups, this bundle throws in a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky Bass strings (EB2834). Wound for a bright, balanced tone and made from quality raw materials, these are the strings countless touring bassists reach for by default. Gauges: .045, .065, .080, .100.
